[Verse 1] You know the children in the Congo Who make American Eagle just for you Don't you think they'd like to wear it, too? And what about the kids in Thailand Who never see the sunlight through the roof Making toothpicks for mojitos and your food [Chorus] How can you get joy out of a world that's rotten through? How can you get high and laugh at bullsh** on YouTube? We live in a country that was made for scum like you Take my heart and cleave it right in two [Verse 2] And what about the kids in Tokyo Who k** themselves when they get C's in school Where you fell asleep and drooled And what about the kids in Bushwick Who'd k** you for a pair of brand new shoes So for once they felt like they were human, too [Chorus] How can you get joy out of a world that's rotten through? How can you get high and laugh at bullsh** on YouTube? We live in a country that was made for scum like you Take my heart and cleave it right in two [Bridge] And it's no secret I write about suicide a lot And it's no secret that I'm blessed with what I got So how dare I ever be distraught? [Verse 3] And what about the kids in Paris Who think America is really cool Should we let them know that they're all f**ing fools? [Chorus] How can you get joy out of a world that's rotten through? How can you get high and laugh at bullsh** on YouTube? We live in a country that was made for sh** like you Take my heart and cleave it right in two
